Processes for producing active dried yeast

摘要

A process is described of making active dried yeast comprising drying moist yeast particles in a fluidized bed and, during the fluidized bed drying, and before the yeast has a dry matter content of 80%, subjecting the particles to disintegration forces while they are fluidized, the disintegration forces being sufficient to prevent any substantial increase in particle size but insufficient to break the yeast cells themselves.
